I became a big shot in the quick transmigration world.

Chapter 274 The Murder Scene in the Entertainment Industry 16
Yu Muhuai completely ignored Zheng Zihao's foul language and insults.

He crossed his arms, tilted his head, thought for a while, and then explained the following question.

"Your motive for killing Jiang Heng is very likely related to that variety show incident. I'm not entirely sure what secrets lie behind the specific incident, but that can be left to the police to investigate."

But as for why you killed Yingjie, it's because she saw you come out of the living room and knew you were carrying evidence, namely that water glass.

"you"

Before Zheng Zihao could refute, Yu Muhuai interrupted him.

"Cao Qin has a heavy smoking habit and needs to go out several times a night to smoke. When he first went out, you secretly went downstairs and set up a timer to burn out the circuit."

Furthermore, based on the intervals between his usual smoking habits, the final amount of fishing line to be burned was determined.

Sure enough, the next time he went out for a smoke, the circuit burned out and the resort lost power.

Because you kept calculating the time it would take for the circuit to burn out, you were able to reach the living room at the end of the hallway immediately after the power outage.

There, you replaced the water cup inside the sealed bag with the one in your pocket, trying to switch the evidence and cover up your crime.

Afterwards, you prepare to return to your room as soon as possible to avoid Cao Qin discovering you are missing when he comes back, and then taking the opportunity to destroy the evidence.

Since my room is very close to the living room, it's normal that I didn't run into you on my way there.

However, Zhou Chongxuan's room is close to yours, so you are very likely to run into him.

You probably hid in any room to avoid Zhou Chongxuan who was walking towards you. This could explain why Zhou Chongxuan didn't see you on his way here.

Perhaps that's why your time was wasted and you didn't have time to bring the evidence back to your room.

To get back to your room from the second-floor living room, you almost have to walk through the entire hallway. Near the stairs, you encounter Sister Ying.

I don't know what she said or did to you. She was probably scared, so she moved closer to you and grabbed your arm, or she was startled by a clap of thunder and instinctively hugged you.

In short, she discovered the water bottle you had hidden on your person.

Although your coat is quite large, anyone who gets close to you can basically feel that you are hiding something, let alone such an obvious cylindrical object.

Even if Sister Ying didn't realize it on the spot, if the police asked her about this detail, it would be hard to explain why she would walk out from the direction of the living room in the middle of the night with suspected evidence on her person.

So you simply took advantage of Yingjie's inattention and pushed her hard down the stairs.

However, the consequence of this is that Yingjie's commotion immediately attracts everyone around, and you completely lose the opportunity to return to your room and hide the evidence.

You can only deal with the water glass after everyone has gone back to their rooms.

But now, I've found this evidence.

As Yu Muhuai spoke, he shook the transparent sealed bag containing the straw.

"Heh," Zheng Zihao sneered, "What evidence? What being caught? It's utterly laughable!"

“Zheng Zihao, I won’t argue with you anymore. The evidence is with me. All we need to do is have the police take it back for a thorough examination once the road is open tomorrow.”

Seeing that further discussion was pointless, Zheng Zihao stopped arguing.

"I will find the best lawyer, Qi Xin. I will make you pay!"

Yu Muhuai shrugged. "Okay, I'll wait."

Then she looked at everyone around her, "Now, shall we all go up?"

Although she asked a question, her tone left no room for negotiation.

Lu Siyan and Xiao Lan were completely stunned by what they had just witnessed and were speechless.

Cui Zhe frowned, offering no opinion, but pondering the likelihood of what Yu Muhuai had said. Cao Qin had just realized Zhou Chongxuan's purpose in embracing him, and a sense of regret inexplicably welled up within him.

Dou Meng had largely believed Yu Muhuai's words, and she asked, "Are we just going to leave Zheng Zihao here like this?"

Yu Muhuai thought for a moment, then personally went to find a few more ropes and tied Zheng Zihao up even tighter.

Zheng Zihao: ? ? ?

Dou Meng: I originally wanted to ask if we should tie him to the bed, that would be more comfortable.
But after thinking about it, Dou Meng still didn't say it.

Old Liu had seen his share of big events, so he wasn't as flustered as Xiao Lan. Instead, he asked with a puzzled look.

"Teacher Qi, if what you just said is true, and the murderer installed a timed device temporarily, then the camera must have recorded it."

Yu Muhuai pointed with his chin toward the camera closest to her, "Old Liu, you can go check it out. I reckon the memory cards inside were all removed when he first went downstairs."

Hmm, it might be hidden in his luggage right now, and he's planning to deal with it tonight.

Yes! I'll go look for it right away.

As if inspired by Lao Liu, Yu Muhuai took two steps at a time and rushed upstairs quickly.

"Sister Meng, come over here and be my witness."

Dou Meng nodded and ran up after Yu Muhuai.

"Qi Xin! You've been searching through other people's belongings without permission! I'm going to sue you! I'll sue you until you're bankrupt!"

With some skepticism, Lao Liu took a flashlight and checked each camera one by one, only to find that the memory card slots in the cameras on the first floor were indeed all empty.

When checking the first camera, Lao Liu's expression was one of disbelief.

He was surprised when he checked the second one. His expression grew increasingly grave as he continued.

Although no one around could see the contents of the storage tank clearly, they understood everything from Lao Liu's expression.

Seeing that what Yu Muhuai said was indeed true, even the few people who were initially skeptical looked at Zheng Zihao on the ground with increasingly complicated expressions.

"I found it!"

Upon hearing Yu Muhuai's joyful shout, the people on the first floor immediately ran upstairs.

At this moment, no one wanted to be in the same room with Zheng Zihao, who was suspected of being the murderer.

Before leaving, taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, Zhou Chongxuan kicked Zheng Zihao in the stomach twice more.

He was kicked out, accompanied by coughing and gagging sounds.

"Your father is going to sue you."

Wearing gloves, Yu Muhuai was putting the memory card he had found at the bottom of Zheng Zihao's luggage into a sealed bag.

"Yes, these are the ones. It really is Zheng Zihao!"

Old Liu was very familiar with these devices and recognized them at a glance; they were the memory cards for their variety shows.

Counting them, there are roughly a dozen or so, which is quite a lot.

Zheng Zihao collected all the memory cards in the corridor, stairwell, and on the first floor.
